Ya that's odd. Do you see the same address if your locally connected to the routers web page? What is the mfr and model# of this NAS? Is it using a static or Dynamic IP address ON the NAS? Happens with IE11 or FF browsers as well?

Gray tiles means that the device isn't currently connected however was at some point. Blue means it's currently connected..

Not sure if there is a PING tool supported on this model router...I would look under Maintenance or System and see. If you don't see any, then may not be available.

Finally got back to this. I have Advanced IP Scanner software on my pc, so typed 1.1.1.1 into the address range to search. Up comes "1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com." I search on this, and see that this is some kind of DNS service -- but I'm signed up for Dlink's DNS service. I DO have Dlinkddns.com's info typed in on the Features > Dynamic DNS page for my DIR-882 -- does that have something to do with this?

If I determine that I want to block this - whatever it is -- how do I do that? When I look at the Clients screen, it shows attached clients, says "You can block a device from accessing your network completely," but I don't know how!

Or , alternately -- should I have my Comcast DNS server IP addressed typed in on the 882's Settings > Internet Settings > Advanced page? Because I DO NOT.

Do you have anything typing in the normal DNS settings under Internet or is that blank? 1.1.1.1 is a new DNS server that's supposed to be faster and is safe to use. I'm using it on my router. I like it.

I wouldn't think that DDNS would show up with 1.1.1.1 unless they have changed something...

Confused. What I'd put in the DNS entries on the Internet page don't have anything to do with my DYNAMIC DNS service, do they? They are the DNS server addresses for my internet service provider, aren't they?

You can input any DNS address there on the Internet page, leaving it blank tells the router to auto detect DNS address that your ISP provides. You can input any other DNS and the router will use it. Its not Dynamic DNS related when you manually input DNS addresses there.

Sorry to keep dragging this out -- but you said to disable my Dynamic DNS service on the router, and input those given IPs for the DNS servers - but I want to use my Dynamic DNS service! I'm not sure, to be honest, how any of this (both the DDNS entry and the DNS Server entries are kind of "outgoing" addresses, aren't they?) would impact 1.1.1.1 showing up as a client?
